DARK SHADOWS: BLOODLUST is complete!

By WALLACE McBRIDE

The final episode of DARK SHADOWS: BLOODLUST was released this week. I've yet to catch up, so don't tell me how it ends. Spoilers have a way of appearing in the strangest of places.

For example: The series title was accidentally announced here during a podcast interview last July with Big Finish writer Alan Flanagan. We both learned quickly that Big Finish was still a few months away from officially releasing the details of the series ... details which included the title. I edited the offending word from the episode and immediately re-uploaded it to my host. By then, though, my listeners had already downloaded it a few dozen times. Oops.

If you're a regular visitor, you already know I love what I've heard so far of BLOODLUST. It's an opinion that might be taken with a grain of salt (I have a very small role in the series) if I weren't known to be an opinionated crank.

Meanwhile, Big Finish's tumultuous romance with Amazon is back in bloom, and BLOODLUST is currently doing very well in the audiobooks rankings (Volume 1 is sitting at the #10 position as I write this). You can get it from Amazon HERE, but I don't know for how long.

Depending on your level of patience, a direct purchase from Big Finish might be a better option. Both volumes are available as MP3 bundles for less than the cost of the CD collection at Amazon. If you buy the CD set from Big Finish, you also get an MP3 edition that's immediately available for download.
